Kurumi approached Professor Saylen cottage making sure not to move around too much as she did so as not to disturb the pygmy puff in her robe pocket. Walnut had, earlier that day, tried to use him as a chew toy so the poor little guy was pretty frazzled. It was clear that she wouldn't be able to leave Momotaro and Walnut in the same room. She was sure it was due to Walnut being jealous of the pink cotton ball and that it would eventually pass, but, better to be safe than sorry.

She approached the door and knocked softly two times and waited for the professor to allow her in.
